"When I try to start the game, Soft Anchor says my trial period has ended and asks me for key. I put my key in and the activation goes on fine. When I try to start the game I get the same message on and on and on. Seems like the activation process is bugged, because it wants me to activate every time I try to start. Anyone have any advice for this problem?"

that when i ring up i get to the 3rd activation key and then it says i have the wrong code.

has done this 10 times now

Fix: This happens because the original key entered was incorrect and the phone line cannot validate the request. Please recheck the original 26 character key entered, you should validate your key (if possible) via the following URL: http://keylookup.fm2009.softanchorinsight.com/

I still have the same cannot connect to the internet problem, ive followed the certificate instructions to the cord, i have remove firewalls and such but nothing seems to make a bit of difference. Help would be greatly appreciated, just want to play the game really

Thanks alot Marc, i've been on and off these forums since 2.00 pm yesterday and have noticed the great effort you are going to in order to help people out (it's saturday night!!). I, like everyone else here, have been playing champ and footy manager since day 0 and have found the last couple of days to be slightly annoying. My computer not only doesnt have the net but its a good 6 or 7 years old so i've come across quite a few problems already! However i genuinley apreciate the yours and some of the other mods help in helping us - i'm sure there are other things you'd rather be doing.

Please post here even if you've posted in another thread and we're yet to help you.

Hi All, I installed the game fine but when I went to play my first match the game aborts and an error report message is displayed! It only happens when the game is loading for the 3d pitch format. I have checked my computer and it is well within the min system requirements. Is there something I need to change before it will let the 3d match engine load?? HELP!

Marc, my game works until i try to play a match and it freezes when i press the start match button is pressed. On the demo this was fixed by putting it into windowed mode but that option is greyed out :s and in the other thread the solutions they gave me weren't even available??

Hi, I authenticated FM last night, played the game for a while. Turned it off to go to sleep.

This morning, Softanchor asked for the code again. And brought up the Error 821 stating that i need to get a new code from the sigames website. I have tried deleting the contents of the \certificate directory but still no success.

Thanks, been trying to get this working for over 24 hours!

I can help!

Scenario: Install and activate with activation code on Steam and it works then launch the game, SoftAnchor asking to re-enter activation code.

I apprecdiate your busy mate, just hoping for a solution

Some guesses...

You have minimum spec monitor resolution, so can't go into windowed mode or a graphics card that is way, way, way below min spec

I bought this game yesterday morning and im still trying to get the game working. What was wrong with just putting the disk in and install? Why over complicate things? I paid £30 for this game and wasted about 16 solid hours tryin to get play it. (trying hard not to swear here). I think you have failed us all. Obviously its not just happening to me its happening to 1000s world wide so i hope your proud of yourselves. I will be getting a refund tomorrow as this is all b****cks.

I've just done that for the 3rd or 4th time, and it still says it's invalid, this time on the 2nd number.

I tried install the game using steam but when I tried to launch the game it kept on saying that it was unable to connect to the internet and that my free trial had ended despite the fact I was already on the internet and had just bought the game that day. I then tried uninstall everything and start again, by using the phone method, but I only succeded in removing steam and now when I insert the disk nothing happens
